Error Code IE
Inlet Valve Error - water supply problem detected
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
What This Means
Water level frequency below 24.6 kHz (air chamber or tube clogged); Filter inlet valve clogged with foreign material; Inlet valve connectors broken or loose; Resistance of inlet valve assembly outside 0.8-1.2 kOhm range; Inlet valve connector voltage 120V DC indicating failed valve; Connector to MAIN PWB disconnected (NA4, BL6, RD6); Electrical connection incorrect (main harness fault); Water level frequency still below 24.6 kHz after connector check (pressure switch)
How to Fix
- 1
Confirm IE is displayed
- 2
Press WASH/RINSE and DELAY WASH simultaneously to check water level frequency
- 3
If frequency below 24.6 kHz: check air chamber and tube for clogging
- 4
If frequency OK: check if filter inlet valve is clogged - clean or replace filter
- 5
If filter OK: check if inlet valve connectors are broken or loose - reconnect or repair
- 6
Check resistance between each terminal of INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY - should be 0.8-1.2 kOhm
- 7
If resistance out of range: replace INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY
- 8
If resistance OK: check voltage at inlet valve connector - if 120V DC, replace INLET VALVE ASSEMBLY
- 9
Check connector to MAIN PWB (NA4, BL6, RD6) - reconnect or repair if disconnected
- 10
Verify electrical connection using wiring diagram - replace MAIN HARNESS if incorrect
- 11
Recheck water level frequency - if still below 24.6 kHz, check PRESSURE SWITCH
- 12
If all checks pass but error persists: replace MAIN PWB ASSEMBLY
- 13
Installation safety check: no water tap leakage, no freeze, no hose entanglement, no water shortage, no shrinkage on supply hose, no supply hose leakage
